Does the venus driver set sizeimage based on the given output resolution?

E.g. if v4l2-compliance would first set the output resolution to 320x240,
is the returned sizeimage value OK in that case?

And this also means that the venus driver requires each buffer to have
a single compressed frame, right? I.e. it can't be spread over multiple
OUTPUT buffers.

We really need to let userspace know about such restrictions.

Stanimir, can you list the restrictions of the decoder for the various
codecs?
